Senator McCain Welcomed the Position of ‘Officially Putting Iran on Notice’

Senator John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee welcomed the position of the US national security adviser Michael Flynn who condemned Wednesday Iran’s recent ballistic missile test launch, calling it a “provocative” breach of a UN Security Council resolution.

McCain, wrote in his tweet, he is happy that the White House is standing up to Iranian aggression.

“The Trump administration condemns such actions by Iran that undermine security, prosperity and stability throughout and beyond the Middle East,” he said during the White House’s daily press briefing.

Trump on Thursday reverberated Flynn’s remarks, adding that Iran “should be thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them” under former President Barack Obama.

Trump over and over again denounced the Iran nuclear deal during his 2016 presidential campaign, pledging he would scrap the pact as president.

The agreement offered Iran sanctions relief in exchange for greater limitations on its nuclear energy program.
